I hope everyone had a great week! Lots of important paperwork came home last week. Please be sure to send in the permission slip for our trip to the Capitol and the Varsity by Friday, April 19th!
Also, letters of intent for enrollment next year also went home. Please fill this out and return it as soon as possible. You MUST include a proof of residency as stated on the form. Any returned without proof will be sent back home.
We start our Milestones testing this week. We will test for 3 days on ELA this week. Let's all take a deep breath together. We all have this. You have raised incredible tiny humans. I have had the pleasure of teaching those tiny humans. And those tiny humans have worked their tails off. We are ALL ready. Please do not stress or allow them to stress. Make sure they get a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast, and squeeze them hard those mornings. They will be great.
There are to be NO devices on testing day. No smart watches of any kind. Please just don't even let them wear them. Also, any child that has a cell phone will need to leave it off and in their backpack. Thank you for your help with this matter. :)
If you are providing testing treats for our class, THANK YOU! Some of you have already sent them in. If you haven't yet, please remember to do so on or before your designated day!

Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
- 3.OA.8- Students will solve two-step word problems using the 4 operations. They will represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. They will assess the reasonableness of the answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
